For Em.

The wisest woman I know once said..

"If it is anything other than yes, it's no.

If it is anything other than stay, it's go."

She also gave me this lovely bit of advice..

"Friends, lovers or nothing.

There is no in between."

big macs

Just a quick little fact about mwah (sound it out, kids)...

I'm not even remotely ashamed to admit that I am a huge Big Mac lover.

To you-- closet Big Mac lover-- it's time to set yourself free!

It's the holiday season, so forget about those nice holiday hams, yams, or jams and treat yourself with the good stuff.

(If only they would bring back Big Mac Monday.. It was what made Mondays enjoyable so long ago!)

Day 09 Proud Moment

Day 09: Something you’re proud of in the past few days

I am very passionate when it comes to how proud I am of my brothers. They are such hard working kids. And YEAH, I am so incredibly proud of them, all the time.

This month I have had the chance to see all three of my handsome brothers involved in wrestling tournaments. It is so fun. They are so talented and just so stinking cute.
I am a very proud older sister!

PLUS
My brothers are so hilarious.
No one has funnier brothers than I do.
NO ONE!

For example...




Love you Brian, Danny and Jesse!
So proud of each of you in all that you do!

Day 08 Goals Scchmoals

Ewe What do you suppose a scchmoal is?
The second I wrote that I grossed myself out.
UUUUUUH
ANYWAY
Day 08: Short term goals for this month and why

Well, seeing that it is December,
I am just really hoping to somehow end this year with a
bang.
I may or may not create a few bombs along the way.

In truth,
it being December means I am finally
pulling in the last of the 12 of
the weirdest/hardest/best months
and actually survived!

Weirdest/hardest/best because a year ago
I envisioned these past 12 months
just a little bit differently.

A little cottage
with a white picket fence
the perfect yellow sundress
long hair blowing in the wind
dandelion in one hand
lover in the other
I pictured this perfectly perfect life
A simple life
A good life


Yes, I would say things are just a little tinsy bit different.

Because of the ultimate pitfall of 2010
I have PLENTY in my list of goals

But my most short term
really awesome
extremely achievable goals are...
1
Finish the semester
and hey, maybe even pass this time!
2
Continue my Facebook hiatus!
It is so gratifying.. all 4 days of it so far..
(Ps. To all of you who thought I deleted or blocked you... no no, I still love you.
To you who I did delete and block... well, you know how I feel.)
3
Rearrange my livingroom
so that my new cute Christmas tree fits nicely
4
Finally clean that second bedroom I am too scared to go into
(Too much stuff for my own good)
5
Watch all the movies I bought on black Friday
6
Finish the lovely fleece blanket I am making
(I wish it were a snuggie..)
7
Create the ultimate joke gift
for my secret person in my family
(Let me just say this is my favorite family tradition EVER!)
8
Mend my heart
9
Find time to forgive for said needed mending
10
RELAX

Hmm just a few goals... Ha.

Oh and PS all of you who are like... This girl puts WAY too many pictures on here it makes it hard to follow... I found the greatest trick of all time for my annoying photo habit... You hold the Ctrl button and scroll your mouse down at the same time.
Changed my world!

Day 07 I've been impacted

Day 07 - A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you.

I can't believe how long it has taken me to realize what has made such a big impact on me.
It's so easy.
These kids are the best thing I have ever experienced.













My heart melts every time I think about them.
I miss my kids so very much!
